I have met a few savate peeps. Including a acquaintance of mine now who I cross hands with on occasion.

Depending on who the player is like any art showcases how good it looks. Personally I think Savate is a excellent combative sport/combative fighting system with a lot of empircal work under its legs.

Here is a wonderfull link on the old school of street savate.
